In Western countries punctuality is very important．
In the business world, people often have very busy timetables．They may have something planned for every hour of the working day．This means that meetings are sometimes set up months before．
If a seller has agreed to meet a buyer at a given time, he or she will want the seller to be there at that time．If the person shows up late, there may be a problem．The buyer may not want to do business because of the lateness．
If a person is late it says he and his company aren't reliable(可靠的)．If a meeting has to be put off, then the person who is being met should be told quickly．It is also expected that friends will turn up on time for meetings with each other．It is thought rude to be late．If two friends plan to meet in a cafe, and one of them is very late, the other may be upset．To leave friends sitting on their own, with nothing to do, may embarrass(使尷尬)them．It says to them that their friend doesn't really care about them．
At other times rules are more relaxed．In Britain, for example, if someone throws a party on a Saturday evening, many people will be asked to come．The host may say that the party will last“from 8 till late”．That is, it may go on for a long time．It will be all right for a person to arrive at some time during the party．They don't need to come promptly(迅速的)at 8 o'clock．

1．What's result when the seller shows up late to meet a buyer?
_________________________________________________
2．When is OK for you to come if you are told a party will last“from 8 till late in Britain”?

閱讀下列短文，從每小題四個選項中選出最佳答案。
The cinema was in darkness when we went in and it was not easy making our way to our seats. The old man in front of us was luckier: he had a stick to help him find his way, like a blind man.
“It's very strange not to have any lights on before the film starts,” I said to my wife.
“And no music, either,” she said,“Well, perhaps they are economizing (節約)!”
We were in one of the rows nearest to the entrance. We heard other people pass by but we could not tell how big the cinema was. It seemed that the cinema did not get very crowded at that time of day.
“It must be two o'clock already,” my wife said. “Can you see your watch?”
My eyes had now been accustomed (適應于) the darkness and by bringing my watch close to my eyes, I could just find out that there had been a change. The second of the two films started first. We were not interested in that one.
